We reported earlier on the crimes that you’re most likely to see in the news or hear about from your friends, theft and fraud.

While these offences are up on a year ago, if not since a peak earlier this year, police data published this morning shows more dangerous crimes in England and Wales are falling.

There were 518 homicides in the year to June, which is down from March’s figure - and the lowest in more than 20 years.

Crimes with weapons were down too, including fewer assaults and robberies involving knives - each of which accounted for about 20,000 recorded crimes. Firearms offences also fell to the lowest level in a decade.

But the Office for National Statistics estimates there were about 1.1 million violent crimes, a category which ranges from threats up to assault and murder, committed in the year to June. This is little changed on the year before.
